Sport v Street

 

if there are rules that say you can't do something

if you can't gouge the eyes

if you can't strike the groin

if you can't use weapons

if you can't have multiple opponents at the same time

if you have a corner that can throw in the towel for you

if you can tap out


if you have a break between rounds to towel down and have water, and people there to bring you a stool to sit on

if people have to pay admission to see it



then it's a Sport



In a Street Self Defence Survival fight


there are no rules

you can't tap out

you can have multiple opponents - on either side

you can have weapons

no time limits or rounds


and you might not have a Team to help you, back you, cover you - but if you are smart and plan ahead, you can

every door fight I was involved in I had a Team and backup



----------------------------------


In a Street fight

anyone can get a lucky punch

a lucky knockout

if he has a knife he can get a lucky stab or cut

a lucky hit with a bat


nobody can get a lucky Guard Triangle Choke
